That’s interesting. I’ve only seen two episodes, and this was one of them. This was largely what put me off the show. I’m not opposed to shock, but the episode was just so blunt and gross for grossness’ sake. Maybe I should check out other episodes.

And your response is exactly why they didn't want that episode first.

It's the only episode with any gross out factor. And it's pretty intense in that respect for many people - enough to turn them off a great series.

This is lewd, but is clearly an attempt at immature humor. There's no human misery, (at least for the participants -- the voters may feel differently) no blackmail, and no obscene livestreaming of the act. (thank god) I'm certainly not defending something this disgusting, but it's still quite different than what was portrayed on the show.
